No fan art today, but I have something school work related I am ridiculously proud of I wanna share with the world. Hope you all don’t mind. 😀

I am a graphic design student at the University of Illinois (Springfield), and in one of my digital design classes we had to do a Celebrity Portrait project. I chose Fairuza Balk for my subject matter.

I was hoping they’d get her larger shoes, or sandals that don’t have to go between toes! Selkie’s so cute in panel 5.
And i love the class project pic! It reminds me of Patrick Nagel’s work, But with color!

You should be wary, hunting for shoes is a dangerous business. Between having to fight for the last pair and finding the ones you love in the wrong size, it can be harrowing. But her face is amazing. Her eyes just shrunk!! And the portrait is beautiful. I love it. Her eye sort of pierces my soul….

Just read through the whole thing start to now and i love it. I read over a dozen web comics and this makes a baker’s dozen 😀
Oh, and, out of context, her expression in the last panel is really kinda scary. like shes gonna bite his arm off or something lol

Ahahaha! God, I love this comic! I know exactly how she feels! I have misshapen feet due to a disability and didn’t wear shoes until I was in high school (I couldn’t fit into any shoes. And, boy, it embarrassed me!).

As a side note, Dave, do you have a banner link I could post on my webcomic?

Did no one at the orphanage know that shoes come in Narrow and Extra Narrow sizes, so Selkie’s toes wouldn’t either get pinched or hang over the ends? You don’t necessarily have to go to custom shoes; just get her long, narrow shoes for her long, narrow feet.

Absolutely *love* this comic! I read through it once already tonight, and I’m on my second way through. I also wanted to mention that I absolutely *ADORE* this one, both panels 5 and 6. I can practically hear Selkie’s voice in panel 6.

Deep Ones and other beings who still have four limbs have wide feet. Best for swimming. Not as good as flippers or a fluked tail but the next-best-thing. Open toe will help. I’d say the only way to have a closed shoe is one of unusual make.
